PERSONAL TRAINING SUCCESS STORY

Tom is a three season cyclist and alpine skier. He initially approached Kyle about improving his skiing ability, as he has been satisfied with his cycling and has exercised regularly for years to maintain his superior leg strength and cardiovascular endurance. Overall fitness often contains more elements than that, so when Tom described his difficulty in executing right hand turns while skiing, Kyle recommended an assessment to determine why. Since he started training in October 2005, Tom has shown dramatic improvements not only in his turning ability but also in skiing with greater ease, stability, and precision. During his initial assessment, Tom scored a “10” on the test battery, whereas in January his re-test score soared to “16” as a result of working with Kyle on a weekly basis.
